I hope this helps (indirect problems)

Exoskeleton usually don't cause arthropods problems except when they're growing. Arthropod are like snakes the must break out of their shell in order to grow bigger. When arthropods break out of their shell they must wait until the new skin hardens and becomes a shell again. During this time most arthropods vulnerable to prey due to the lack of protection from their shell

Another problem would be the size of a crevice or hole when fleeing predators. If at the time of attack by a predator , the rigidity of the outer shell limits the size of the shelter to escape to.
